Question

int *i = new int(1);
cout << i << endl; 

Will print the address of the integer.

    char *c="cstring";
    cout << c << endl;
    cout << &(*c) << endl;

Will both print “cstring”. I guess this behavior can simply be explained with the implementation of ostream& operator<< (ostream& out, const char* s ); in the IOstream Library.

But what to do if you actually want to print the address of the data c refers to?

Answer 1

cout << reinterpret_cast<void*>(c) << endl;

or just

cout << (void*)c << endl;
